Halloween Message from the Family

A big thanks to Tony D for turning me on to this.  A few minutes on the Jib-Jab website and I turned out this holiday message from myself, Dawn, Kenzie, Dallin and Logan. Personalize funny videos and birthday eCards at JibJab!

Last.fm is one of those things I can’t stop using. I love statistics and the fact that is has kept stats on my audio habits for nearly a decade leaves me with some very cool statistics. I finally found a patch for one of the loopholes. I now have last.fm track my listens not only [...]

Worth Quoting

“My life’s a fantasy, you’re not smart enough to even dream” – Pink (Alecia Moore)

Booty Voodoo – world premiere video short

One of the cool things about doing the PMC Top10 for years was discovering great music. My buddy, Lee Coulter just launched a new video for a song that I seriously love. The chorus may seem silly at first, but if you listen to all the lyrics, it’s pretty deep stuff.

New Country Review – March

I got my hands a country promo disk and thought I’d take a second to review the new tracks. Here are the tracks and my gut reaction to them: Rain Is A Good Thing – Luke Bryan (Good tune, but very simplistic if not downright stupid. Will it do okay? yeah – people like stupid. [...]

New term added to my lexicon

I got some music from Blake the other day and while we are seldom in complete agreement on the styles we like, there are enough similarities that I welcome the chance to learn of new music from him. (heck, from anyone) I grabbed the Silversun Pickups album Carnavas and I kinda like it at first [...]
